Atleast they have not started making ai cars. When they do they will confirm they have trully lost their ways.

No the indian fellas at Tata probably haven seen this

Once all the electronics came in, real Land Rovers vanished. The rot started with the P38 Range Rover. I have a 49, a 57 and a 65; there is nothing on them to go wrong because there are no gadgets on them.

@@jefftodd621 Agreed! I have a 66.👌

Its gone woke and will go broke.

Just bought a 1966, Series 2A , 88”, 2 days ago. It was still in daily use on a 200 acre cattle ranch in central California. Other than needing a lot of TLC , it’s all original, runs great and is very solid.

But if they gave you one, you could sell it and buy more Series trucks.

@@roverhaul Yes,I agree with your idea-ideal solution!

Despite the vastly better 200TDI with Defender, the rot started for me with its loss of galvanised bumpers and body cappings. My now deceased six year old 1990 Defender had rust where my still alive 1956 Series One didn't and still doesn't.

@@philhealey4443 And along the same lines,what could be more stupid than using plastic bits in many of the later engines. Guaranteed to give nothing but grief,as they do!

@@adienowed6366Yes, old stuff breaks but trouble can usually be seen, accessed and fixed reasonably easily. A crack in my S1 brass Serck radiator header was easy to repair with a blowtorch and solder, with the repair then good for 30 years further service so far in a 70 year old part. The modern equivalent plastic radiator starting a leak at a stress point where a hose connects will be a battle getting Araldite or Belzona to adhere, and I really question whether emissions are really responsible for the complete lack of access in today's vehicles. When changing the cam belt in a Disco 3 or 4 is easier by removing the body, something cannot be right. Running day job vehicles from nearly new to say 15 years old has so far slammed on my brakes on getting a Grenadier, discovering it uses BMW engines riddled with notoriously fragile plastic including heat exchangers etc and no clarity has emerged on any Ineos ruggedising having been applied to avoid embrittlement, with breakages likely both in service and more likely when battling to gain access to fix something else. TBH I've run 2 "poor man's" poverty spec G Wagens in the last nearly 25 years, the stupidly sold 2000 GD290 being the gold standard of perfection and my current 2012 "G Military" having been much less reliable mainly due to extra complexity dictated by emissions regulations, but so far its plastics have not given me problems.
